"CAsTLEs IN THE AIR."


Amid the myriad troubles that meet us day by
day,
Who would not from the conflict moment turn
away,
And in far-off fairy-land, where men no burdens
bear.
Forget awhile our tears and toll in Castles in
the ARR
When many bright-hued prospect fades fast
beyond our view,
And hopes which neared fruition prove shad-
owy and untrue,
1Iay we not in that dream-land, beyond all
clouds and care,
Behold our Paradise restored in Castles in the
air:''
., there are lonely chambers in every home and
heart
And in life's song of sorrow each one must bear
part.
But bark! what mystic melodies soon hush the
voice of care,
AS parted hands arc clasped once more in Gas
ties in the arr
Then never grow discouraged though fortune
favors not,
And we pursue LIES pilgrimage unnoticed or
forgot;
We have an hour of victory and lustrous laurels
For ell are kings and conquerors in Castles in
the air.

When Tad came on deck at sunrise
the following morning. sleepily rubbing
his eyes, he rubbed them still harder,
and, moreover, gave his elbow a sly

GERMAN ADVANCE
The Wonderful Industrial and CommercsA
Growth OF the Empire

rhe Wonderful Industrial and CommercsA
Growth OF the Empire
The extraordinary martial successes
of Germany, the immense efforts she
mas made to maintain her military SUI
premacy, and the exorbitant burdens
to which she has submitted for the
purpose of keeping up her colossal
standing army have caused the outside
world. and especially the English
world, TO lose sight of the great pro-
gress she has made of late as a COM
mercial and industrial community.
This progress can only be compared
to that made by France under the
Second Empire, while it has this sig
nal advantage, that it is in the main
the result of individual enterprise, not
of State initiative and impulse. The
industrial development of Germany
has proceeded pdri pGSSu with her mill
itary ACKNOWLEDGEMENT; and whenever
she is relieved from the dread of inn
mediate attack, which, with or without
reason, is her dominant thought at the
present moment, as it has been ever
since the late war, her policy will
necessarily be directed by commercial
rather than strategical considerations.
Germany has all the conditions re-
quired for the creation of a great mer-
camille community. She has a large
and Woodworking population, g central
position; her people have the trading
and colonizing instinct; her merchants
have established themselves success
fully in all parts of the globe. All that
oh 70 oil
mercantile power is free access to the
sea and the copmand of a large
seafaring population. Given these
conditions, it is not difficult to foretell
that Germany, if she retains her mill
tary supremacy, will not rest content
without having better seabOard than
she at present possesses Sooner or
later the Austrian ports on the Mediter-
ranean will probably be made avail
able for the extension and develop
ment of German trade. This object
could, however, be attained without
the need of any territorial changes,
provided Austria could be induced to
enter the German Customs Union. 1t
is enough for my present purpose to
say that Trieste may, and will prob
ably, be converted into a German port
without any necessity for a resort to
arms. tits, however, to the west rather
han to the south that Germany must
look for the real extension of her trade.
The Baltic ports are unavailable for
winter traffic. Hamburg and Bremen
lie too much to the north and too far
from the sea. The natural outlets of
German trade are the ports of Holland
and Belgium. In order to avoid being
misunderstood, let me say, once for all,
that am not finding excuses for, still
less advocating, the possible annex
alton of Belgium and Holland by Ger
many. My wish is to point out what
are the objects the various great
powers may reasonably have in view in
any revision of the map of Europe.
From this standpoint fail to see how
any impartial observer can dispute the
statement that the acquisition of Hol-
land or Belgium or both countries must
be an object of desire to Germany

well, SIR exclaimed Captain
Flagg, pointing his topic, so to speak.
by touching the end of one stumpy fore
finger with the. tip of the other, and
speaking with intense though quiet en-
joyment, ''he put it like this: James
w. Dunn, my Client he says, claims
pay at the rate of five pound day for
the use of his wheel, durin' eighteen
months voyage. It's has wheel, isn't
it? he had to pay for it, and there's the
name OH the rim. The ships had the
use of it all this while, and a ship gan t
get along without wheel no better'n
without a compass says the lawyer,
'and you can settle it right now, or
else We'll take it up to the adm rally
court.
Wasn't he smart! and did the own
ers have to pay itp'' exclaimed and
questioned Polly in the same breath.
Captain Flagg nodded an affirmative.
And SO the sailor got IA big lot of
money!" put in Tad, as an inteIroga-
tive. rE
He got what the lawyer left, most
likely" returned Captain Flagg, rather
dryly-which slight reflection against
the legal professions was, fortunately,
not understood by his hearers.
The sun disappeared behind the ocean
rim, and after supper the side-lights
were put out, and Tad instructed as to
the duties of q lookout; for now the
=. Mary j." was headed right out to-
ward the open sea, which looked terri
bly, dark and cold to Tad's astonished
eyes, particularly as there was no such
thing as II sign of land anywhere to be
seen, excepting the low sandy cape
shores astern, which were fast disap-
pearing in the distance and increasing
darkness.
Before sending the youthful mariner
for'ard, Captain Flagg called him be-
low, and gravely commanded him to
put on some well-worn under-fiannels,
several sizes too large, which, however,
Tad found very comfortable, a pea
jacket, within whose capacious folds
three or four boys of Tad's dimensions
could have been buttoned. and large
fur cap, which, only for resting on the
rims of his ears, would have complete
1y extinguished him.
on don look so stylish as You
might" Captain Flagg Acknowledged,
after Tad had effected the required
change, "but sailors 60 in for comfort,
MORN style;n with which assurance
'Tad-conscious that he looked rather
funny, to say the least-was fain to be
~comforted. Indeed, the most that
troHbled him was the fear that Miss
Polly might possibly laugh when he
ventured on deck. But, though Polly
had been brought up in the country,
she had too much natural politeness to
laugh; yet it must be confessed that the
depths of the deep sun-bonnet hid a
dimple or two, as Tad waddled for
ward. wondering what the matter
could be with the water to make the
vessel tumble about so.

AN EXTINCT BIRD.
How the Once Numerous Great AUX Ia miIy
Was ExtermInated.

How the Once Numerous Great AUX Ia miIy
Was ExtermInated.
Sixty or seventy years ago the birds
were exceedingly common along the
northern coast, coming as far south as
Nahant- But warfare was commenced
upon them. and, though it hardly
seems possible, their determination is
doubtless completes; the last living bird
having been killed in 1874, on group
of islands called Funglasker, off the
southwest coast of Iceland.
In the last century, these birds,
which were large, handsome and strik-
ing in appearance, were common at
the Farce Islands; and, as they were
found to be good eating, they were
slaughtered by the boat-load, not only
for immediate use, but to be dried and
preserved. They were finally driven
10 desolate rock that was considered
inaccessible; but one calm day a
Faroese vessel succeeded in making a
landing, and the crew destroyed nearly
the entire rookery. A few birds es-
capped to sea and returned after the de-
parture of the men, and for time were
safe. Then, as if nature herself were
in league against them, the rock few
years later was engulfed by a subma-
rine eruption.
The few remaining great auks now
assembled and formed a rookery on a
rock called Eldey, where, for fourteen
years, they lived precarious exist
ence. During that time sixty of their
number were taken, and finally the
last pair was destroyed, Their history
in other localities is very similar to
this. That the birds were once COM
mon on the Maine coast is shown by
the fact that their bones are found in
the oyster-shell heaps at various parts
of the shore.
At the same time and in the same
locality with the great aux. lived the
Labrador duck, a fine bird, quite rare
even in collections, and now totally ex-
tinct. The last known living specimen
was killed by Colonel WedderbIrn, of
Halifax, in 1852.
In similar way the curious dodo,
which was a giant pigeon, was exter-
minated. The sailors who visited the
island of Mauritius used to kill them in
mere wanton sport
The 4s0tOrssis, beautiful rail of New
Zealand, has become extinct probably
within the memory of some of our read
ers, its determination also being due
to man. And in our own time, we see
the buffalo being crowded farther and
farther into the mountains, and almost
exterminated from our Western plains

a DREAM.

Ny mother kissed me in dream
o, neer was sweeter dream than this -
saw her blue eyes fondly beam
Upon me- and a world of bliss
Awoke within me; it did seem
So warm, so pure, so rcdolent
OF all that makes mothers kiss,
That, vision-mocl1ed, could but deen
My mother kissed me in q dream,
And, dreaming, was we'll content.
NY mother kissed me in a dream;
stood beside her of yore
And heard the murmur of the stream
That prattles by our cottage door:
The birds were singing, and CLEAN
OF sunshine played among the trees
And kissed the roses Der and DER.
All earth was glad, for it did seem
That mother kissed me in my dreaR,
And soothed me in my miseries.
My mother kissed me in O dream;
Her loving lips were pressed to mine;
My swelling heart did throb and TEEN
With joys ecstatic and divine;
Home. love, youth-every thing supreme
Rose, vision-like, before me till
The morning broke-But, oh! the dream,
The pure, the precious. priceless dream,
Remains to bless and cheer me still!
GOOD R0usekeeping.
